Advantages: Ultimate in portability, use in car or on foot Disadvantages: Atrac cannot be used on any other players
...in the paper for the Sony D-NE518CK , a CD/mp3 player which came with a car kit that simply went into the cassette slot and you could get upto 30 hours of music one disc. My mouth dropped and I said “WOW, I've got to get one of them!!!”.
So off I toddled to Argos and bought the CD Walkman for a princely £90, then as a nice bonus received a free 240 disc case and 5 CD-A (writeable CDs that can only be used like regular audio CDs).

That means 490 songs, at 20 songs a CD = 24 CDs. So you need to sit and switch up to 24 CDs in and out of your computer....and if it goes wrong, then you have to start from scratch! MP3s
Pros - you can get a lot of MP3s on a CD-R/RW
Cons - you have to accept ...
